These two complementary approaches search for the underlying causes of symptoms rather than simply treating the symptoms alone. BioRegulatory Medicine and Functional Medicine bring tools which go to the root cause of the illness to bring resolution of the disease. Searching for the root cause does not mean looking only for the physiological signs and chemical or hormonal imbalances but also taking account of mental state and past psychological events as the PSYCHO-NEURO- ENDOCRINO-IMMUNO (PNEI) systems are strongly linked together.

It therefore demands a more in-depth medical history looking for genetic susceptibility, biochemical disruption , stress accumulation, hormonal imbalance , toxicity overload , unresolved psychological issues and unhealthy lifestyle habits among which western diet is a big part .
